Example prompts for the GitDailies MCP Server

Once your assistant is connected, ask it questions in plain language. Here are some ideas to start with.

Your day

“What’s waiting for my review? Oldest first.”
“Which of my open PRs have been open more than three days?”
“Did any of my GitDailies alerts trigger since yesterday?”
“Draft my standup update from what I merged and reviewed yesterday, and what’s still open.”

“How many PRs are open right now, by repo? Which have waited longest for a first review?”
“Compare PR pickup time across our teams over the last eight weeks.”
“Is our review load balanced? Show reviews submitted per person this month.”
“How many PRs were merged without approval last month, and which were they?”

“Show weekly PR lifetime for the last quarter, excluding weekends in Europe/London.”
“PR lifetime jumped in the week of 8 September. Which PRs caused it?”
“Are our PRs getting bigger? Show PR size by month this year, ignoring bots.”
“Which repo has the slowest review time, and is it getting better or worse?”

“Give me our four DORA metrics by month for the last six months.”
“Which deploys failed last month, and how long did the incidents take to resolve?”
“Lead time for change spiked in August. List the slowest PRs behind it.”

Name the period and bucket size. “By week for the last 12 weeks” gets you a clearer answer than “recently”.
Ask why. When a number looks off, ask your agent to drill down. It can list the exact PRs, reviews, or deploys behind any data point.
Use your team, repo, and label names. Your agent can filter and split results by any of them.
Let the agent combine sources. If your assistant is also connected to tools such as Slack or Jira, ask it to turn GitDailies data into a retro summary, a status update, or a ticket.
